Are you happy with your quiver?

If there is anything I could update on my bow, it would be the quiver. I have a long A2A bow 40+ inches. I'd like the ability to have both fixed and mechanicals. The only gripe with my current (very old) is it has foam in the hood, and carrying rear deploying expandables really doesn't work. Secondly, its very heavy. Any out there that you really like?

I'm looking for a two piece non removable.
 
Ive always shot long ATA bows with 2 piece quivers, and the Prime Sherpa quivers are hands down my favorite. They felt like they needed to cut their logo into the top of the hood so that is the weak link (I’ve cracked 2 hoods) but even with that it’s been my favorite. Light, two arrow grippers and holds 6 arrows.
Edit: They stopped making the quiver I’m talking about and now have a Sherpalite that only holds 4 arrows.
 
I’ve been using two piece for a close to 20 years, always from the bow manufacturer. Hoyt two piece, then a Prime Sherpa and now a Mathews q lite. Prime might have been my favorite as it had no foam in the hood and also was easily removable for travel; although it probably wasn’t as solid as the Hoyt and Mathews that directly bolted on

Not a ton of non OEM two piece out there. I think tightspot and tree limb both make two pieces.
 
Mathews 2 piece is excellent, but it has foam in the hood (could probably trim it a bit if it was a problem). I did have to do some redneck engineering so that my 2nd arrow doesn’t rub on my hamskea rest. Still, it’s tight, light and quiet and the standard I judge other quivers by.

The Hoyt 2 piece is pretty good too.

I had the tight spot 2 piece quiver…it didn’t have foam in the hood but I’d be hard pressed to say anything else positive about it.

If I couldn’t fit a good mfg specific quiver on my bow I’d use a quivalizer.
 
By all means buy what you want, but I don’t even know why they make 2 piece quivers. If you find yourself in an environment it would be beneficial to not have the quiver on the bow, you’re kinda stuck. A one piece removable quiver- you can leave it on all the same, but have the option to remove it. Options are a good thing.

Tightspot quivers have been a fan fave for a long time.

I’ve never once felt the need to remove my quiver from my bow in over 35 years of bowhunting.

And most one piece quivers are obnoxiously louder than their two piece counterparts.
 
For the last 20ish years I’ve always used the two piece quiver for whatever brand I was shooting.

So pretty much Mathews and Elite.

I’m shooting a BowTech now with a Tight Spot 2-piece. Im not in love with it, but it’s passable.

It’s darn sure a far cry better than the one piece Tight Spot I tried 15 or so years ago. I hated that noisy thing!

If I could find one, I’d slap an Elite two piece on this BowTech in a second!

So just comparing the Mathews 1 v 2 piece quiver, the 2 piece is lighter, has +1 arrow capacity, and is like $50 cheaper. Slight advantages in my opinion.

I don’t remove my quiver in the field, or for practice, 3d or anything else. That’s a compromise I’ll accept since I want to be as confident as possible hunting, so I might as well suck it up and get good with the quiver on. I can remove the arrows if I need to work on my bow, and it’s no big deal to unbolt the thing if I needed more working room. So I guess I’m saying I’m the kind of guy that they make a 2 piece quiver for lol. I certainly understand folks preferring the option to remove them easily too.
